Buoyed by the success of a pilot project, the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has decided to install an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) in all elephant corridors in Assam and North Bengal in order to prevent the death of wild elephants due to train hits.
The IDS will help detect wild elephants approaching railway tracks and alert railway personnel to help avert jumbo deaths.
The NFR on Monday signed an MoU with RailTel Corporation of India Limited, a PSU, for the installation of the system.
